Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable shortening
  • 1/2 cup Neutral-flavored vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour

Method
 

Step-by-Step
  1. Add the vegetable shortening, neutral-flavored vegetable oil, and all-purpose flour to a mixing bowl.
  2. Whisk or beat the ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth, evenly blended, and free of visible flour or shortening lumps.
  3. Use a pastry brush to spread a thin, complete coating over the bottom and sides of the cake pan, including corners and decorative details.
  4. Add the cake batter immediately after coating the pan. Store any extra cake goop in a clean, airtight container.

Notes

Apply a thin layer rather than a thick one, since excess mixture can leave greasy edges or affect the cake’s crust. Stir before using if the mixture has separated. Room-temperature storage is commonly used for short-term keeping, while refrigeration extends its keeping quality but makes the mixture firmer.
